Made To Crave is like having a friend sit down beside you and share her journey with you. Made to Crave is honest and real, and reading it helps you believe that you can overcome the bad habits and make changes ... with God's help. I know that I'm too week to make lasting changes on my own, but Lysa shares how God helped her change her way of thinking, and how He can help me can make the same changes.

The DVD series is wonderful! Lysa's weekly sessions are encouraging, and real. She cuts to the heart of the book, and this issue of overeating, confronting the lies we tell ourselves. She breaks it down into a weekly challenge ... one change to make each week ... with refrigerator signs to remind us of that week's focus. The study guide includes discussion questions and weekly homework to bring us face to face with the reasons we overeat, pointing us right back to Jesus and TRUTH. This would be a great study to do in a small group at church, with your best friend, or even on your own.

Individually, the book and the DVD series are each wonderful and helpful. They meet different needs for different people. For myself, I think they work best together. The book gives more depth to the DVD sessions, but the DVD series and guide give a more practical application process that I need. Made to Crave is a much-needed blessing in my life!
